Gloria Allred, the attorney at the center of this week's spectacle over Meg Whitman's illegal immigrant housekeeper, spent time working for Jerry Brown's gubernatorial campaign in the mid-1970s, according to a decades-old article in an American Bar Association magazine.
Allred has downplayed her ties to Brown. But to the Whitman campaign - which released a photograph of Allred and Brown at a C-SPAN panel in 1994 - the celebrity attorney is long-time supporter of the former governor and a partisan Democrat.
The ABA article, written in 1985, describes the beginnings of Allred's practice:
Allred and Maroko set up quarters in February 1976 on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles ... Allred, 43, had spent the previous four years working on California governor Jerry Brown's campaign and as a National Organization for Women volunteer.
The Brown campaign said the immigration controversy "has nothing to do with us," and accused Whitman of trying to divert attention from own problems. At her press conference this week, Allred said she had been critical of Brown in her book, "Fight Back And Win," and she mocked assertions that her $150 donation influenced her or the housekeeper.
"Yeah I'm a very big spender," Allred said. "In 2006, apparently I gave him $150."

Gloria should be stripped of her law license for this. She has no case against Whitman.
Greta really tore her a new one!
Yep!
Unfortunately, liberals will only believe the accusation and not the facts.
A friend of mine last week asked me if Greta was a lib. I told him I thought she was a very good interviewer and doesn’t really play either side. This video is impressive. Gloria Allred is finished.
Awesome, Greta just finished off what was left of Allred after Levin kicked her butt. Good job Greta
I think Greta and her husband are democrats but parted ways with the party when Obama became the candidate.
I think she still may like the Hildebeast.
yep, thats why democrats do what they do.
